Bac Son is one of the most
attractive destinations in Lang Son province. Bac Son
Valley is a beautiful valley in Vietnam that deserves to be known as a green
paradise on Earth. This valley is situated 250 miles south of
Hanoi, Vietnam’s
capital city, and it is an ideal place for agriculture. One interesting aspect
about this valley is its incredibly high mountains which are about 500-1200
meters high. These mountains together with the valley’s paddy fields create that
great scenic landscape that you can only see after climbing 500 steps to reach
the peak of the mountain.
This valley is also quite famous for its incredible lakes. If you head straight
to the valley’s pathways leading you to the paddy fields, you’ll get a chance to
see the beautiful river that runs crossing the rice fields. Besides the valley
itself, the Bac Son district’s village possesses a beauty of its own.
The district is inhabited by the Tay ethnic people and their traditional stilt
houses. If you wish to see the entire view of the valley you would need to reach
the peak of Bac Son Mountains. It can be tiring to climb these mountains, but
the effort is all worth it especially if you want to take that share-worthy
panoramic shot of the Bac Son Valley.
On the north, the Bac Son Valley is bounded by the district Bin Giah; Van Quan
lies on the east side; Huu Lung lies on the south; and
Thai Nguyen lies on the
west side. The total area occupied by the Bac Son Valley is about 697.9 km².
The early settlers of the Bac Son Valley initially resided in Lang Son, a
province located north of Vietnam. When the Lang Son province was explored in
1922, 43 sites were found related to the ancient Bac Son culture prevalent in
the mountains.
Bac Son Valley’s fertile soil lets the local farmers grow various crops in the
area. Its main crop is rice which is planted only in 2 seasons, with each of its
squared field cultivated and harvested in different times. Apart from rice,
other crops like sweet potato and corn also grow in this valley, giving a boost
to the agriculture of the region by 80 percent. This is the reason that
agriculture is the prime occupation and source of earning for the inhabitants.
This valley has become a source of interest for the tourists because of its
enticing beauty. The easiest way to reach this valley is by taking a road trip
from Hanoi using the Highway 3 to Thai Nguyen and turning to National Highway
1B. There are many tourist organizations as well that can help you and will give
